Wings of Fire 06-05-2012 10:42 AM

You're kind of new to this internet thing right?

Episodes will be piratable within hours of being aired.

Nepsotic 06-05-2012 10:48 AM

Its just that sometimes when I want to download a film or watch something I missed, its a few days after they come out.

Wings of Fire 06-05-2012 10:53 AM

I haven't really kept up with pony things, but if pony demand is anywhere near anime demand then the show will be up for download less than two hours after it airs.

Nepsotic 06-05-2012 11:02 AM

Oh, so I guess my wait is as long as anyone elses.

STM 06-05-2012 11:07 AM

I've watched every episode of Game of Thrones season 2 about 20 hours after they've aired in the US onlne, and that's a much better show. You'll be fine.

Wings of Fire 06-05-2012 11:07 AM

If you go to the /mlp/ board of 4chan just after an episode airs, there's a fair chance that an episode thread will be stickied with an episode download link in the first post.

Disclaimer: This may be false information, I've never actually been to /mlp/.

Nepsotic 06-05-2012 11:18 AM

I've never been to 4chan and don't plan to. But I suppose I'll give it a try. What I usually do is go to an app on my phone that allows me to watch and download youtube videos, I downloaded the whole of season 1 like that.

Game of Thrones is nowhere near as good as MLP, and the two shows are so different that you can't possibly compare them. MLP's still better though.

Sekto Springs 06-05-2012 01:24 PM

There are no less than a dozen Youtube channels dedicated to uploading HD pony episodes the same day they air. The Hub/Hasbro either doesn't care or are they aren't wise to it, as they rarely get removed.

Nepsotic 06-05-2012 01:37 PM

I heard that its because Hasbro want them to be uploaded or something. Because they like people being able to watch it whenever. And all the other Pony related videos don't get removed because Hasbro see it as free advertising or something.

Manco 06-05-2012 02:05 PM

I vaguely remember someone mentioning Hasbro being lax with removing the Youtube videos.

Probably because most of their exposure comes from it.

Sekto Springs 06-06-2012 09:36 AM

In that case, I'm going to post one.



Vaudeville parody ftw.

Nepsotic 06-06-2012 10:55 AM

Shes talking to us!

Sekto Springs 06-06-2012 11:22 AM

Those Pony vlogs are pretty well-done. There's tons of them.
What it tells me is that even if the actual show is cancelled, the fans would probably pull together and make their own show of about the same quality. Crazy.

Nepsotic 06-06-2012 11:53 AM

Apparently its her real voice. The creator gets them from Volcaltwit. That doesn't explain how the animation is so perfect though...

Sekto Springs 06-06-2012 11:58 AM

It's her real voice in the "Twilightlicious" one, in this one it's from an immitator named "Rina-Chan".

Nepsotic 06-06-2012 12:04 PM

Oh :( . Thts explains the difference in quality. Still, the animation looks real, how is it so good?

Sekto Springs 06-06-2012 12:07 PM

A lot of people have gotten their hands on the pony vectors from the show. It's simply a matter of animating it in flash, which is a no-brainer.

Nepsotic 06-06-2012 12:57 PM

It sounds simple, what you're explaining, but when you say people have gotten their hands on the pony vectors, thats not simple. How did people get these, because I'm sure Hasbro didn't just stick 'em up online for a laugh.

Sekto Springs 06-06-2012 01:01 PM

I don't know how, but I've seen some very official-looking fanimations. If they aren't the original vectors, then they are goddamned identical.

MeechMunchie 06-06-2012 01:09 PM

You can probably trace the vectors pretty well from screenshots.

Christ, look at how excited they are. So is Ponyville full of alcoholics or what?

Nepsotic 06-06-2012 01:10 PM

Man, see its stuff like this that makes me wish my laptop wasn't broke. If those vectors are out there, I'd love to get my hands on them.

Sekto Springs 06-06-2012 01:14 PM

I bet you would.

Given enough time and patience I’m fairly sure people could recreate them – the designs are quite simple when you break them down.

Also there was an official game made for the Hub website, which someone pulled a simplified vector from. The result?

That adds a whole new level to "Rainbow" Dash.

Wow, you wouldn't think people can do it that good. The colours would be tricky though.

Not really. Even ignoring how easy to find and use color matching tools are, I’ve seen pretty accurate color reference sheets made up by fans.

Sekto Springs 06-06-2012 02:38 PM

In that vector animation you can see that her cutie mark is repeated on her inner thigh as well. This has been the source of many an animation error in the actual show.

Nepsotic 06-06-2012 02:45 PM

I want a Portal mod where you can play as ponies, have their voices and soundbytes as well.
I'd make it, but I have no experience. Or a computer.
I'd call it-
'The Equestrian Testing Initiative'
Oosh.

Sekto Springs 06-06-2012 02:47 PM

Sounds like the kind of thing that's probably already been done.

Nepsotic 06-06-2012 02:55 PM

But I bet if it has, none of them have had a name as cool as mine.
'The Equestrian Testing Initiative'
Oosh.

How do you know it's on the inner thigh and not just visible through the transparent thigh?

It's on the inner thigh of the opposite leg because they just copy/paste the leg that's in the front. It's caused a lot of animation errors in the show itself.

That’s oddly creepy.

Varrok 06-07-2012 12:37 AM

I find the second image disturbing

Nepsotic 06-07-2012 12:45 AM

Disturbing? I don't see why.

I get that. I was referring to the hollow vector version that you were commenting on.

Sekto Springs 06-07-2012 04:01 AM

If we were going by that logic, you'd be able to see her other eye and ear as well.

Ponies are a pox. A pox on this forum.

Oh, and I bet Nepsotic's got Pony Pox now.

You know what happens with Pox. Everyone gets it once.

Nepsotic 06-07-2012 12:13 PM

Thats because they die before they can get it again.

You're talking about smallpox, yes?

Pony pox is a blessing. It gives you a disease called bronism, and then you give your life to bronology and hard drugs.
